I don't think anybody was convinced that Unicron and Cybertron were in scale in the movie. Unicron seemed to be able to firmly plant both feet on Cybertron. If he wanted to, he could easily take a few steps around.

If they were in scale, it'd be like you or me stepping on one of those bouncy balls Dwight Schrute uses as a chair.

Right. I never bought the size of robot mode in the movie but then again Megatron was a thousand times bigger in robot mode than gun mode so Unicron could be the opposite like Astrotrain. He seemed even smaller in the comic when he ate Brainstorm. Also in the image above he looks a lot smaller than when he slammed his hand into Cybertron and if I'm not mistaken in another scene when he was standing on the planet Cybertron looked a little smaller. It isn't like this would be the first time a Transformers scale changed.

I like the size of the individual toys, really.
Unicron's bulk is menacing, and really gives the impression that he could devour Cybertron anytime he wanted.
(as apposed to the movie, as you have stated, where he palms Cyberton like a basketball one moment and the next, he is standing on it.)

In robot mode, Primus is still kinda small, but it doesn't mean he is a slouch.

so the toys aren't all scaled to each other, but to me they got two to be somewhat in scale to each other. it works.

It's like a Fort Max spaceship mode anyway, you can barely tell what it is. For how much more detail there is on the figure I dont mind being smaller than Unicron at all, I love how dynamic the mold on Primus is.

Look at Omega Supreme. He's just a tank, track and a rocket launch pad and he's toe to toe with metroplex, (a city.) I knew trypticon was big and quite equal from my memory to Metroplex.
never had Scorponok, so can't say.

soooo.
i had a theory about those guys, but it stinks.
Metroplex is to Fort Max.....like montgomery Alabama is to Dallas, Texas?

sheesh, just think of it as Hasbro not thinking ahead too much, so they built Max as the big one and totally dropped the ball on Unicron being such a wanted villain figure...

isn't it nice that TFs did take a stab at giving us like the Ultimate bad guy, then eventually gave us a decent (acceptable to me anyhoo) figure of him?
don't see a massive Galactus figure out there- at least not fort max like, ya know.

Didn't Unicrons size in TFTM change?
When Unicron first transformed he easily crushed Cybertron with his hand but then he could easily put his feet on Cybertron with space still to walk.

He did'nt crush Cybertron with his hand.He was actually smaller then Cybertron in planet mode.Therefore he could not eat it thus had to transform to attack it.If you watch the scene he is about as large as Cybertron in robot mode.He actually takes his hand reaches out over the top of the planet and rakes his hand across the surface causing total chaos for Shockwave and the rest of the Decepticons on the inside of the planet.
